Hey Andy, happy to see you are still rocking those classic Rush songs o/ I recently took a closer look again at Ayreon's 01011001 and it keeps me interested. I find this very amusing, I will listen more thoroughly now to the Universal Migrator. I hope you are healthy and doing fine, man!! I recently saw a couple of classical pieces in the theater for the first time and it was an amazin experience, and I doubt I would be any interested in it without you early recommendations. Many thanks again, enjoy these last days of summer!! haha

Hey Wilson, I´ve recently seen Ayreon in concert can you believe it? They did a special short tour of 3 performances in my hometown Tilburg! And Arjen has said he would never do a concert with his project Ayreon, so I feel very privileged to have been able to see the concert on Sunday the 17th of September... which was the last of the 3 concerts in a row. The tickets of the Friday and Saturday were sold out in matter of seconds so I was lucky I was in time for the Sunday at all! People from 54 countries came to Tilburg. Anyway, I´ve had my ups and downs as of late... a friend of mine deceased last Wednesday... so yea both good and bad...how have you been doing? Great to hear my recommendations in classical music made you visit the theater a couple of times. I recently went to Edinburgh which is a very cultural city too.

Hey Andy, I am very sorry to hear about your friend… Even though it is still a recent loss, I hope you find the strength to endure it. About the concert, that is huge! I imagined they should have a really hard time getting all these great (and probably busy, hehe) musicians together to put on a show. I am very surprised they even made it. No wonder the tickets were over in a heartbeat… It was a privilege indeed! I am taking a closer look at other Ayreon’s albums now as well, and even though the genre is quite different from what I am used to hear I am enjoying it a lot. I guess it confirms my hunch that enjoying good music should not be bound by genres, and it also reminds me of a period in which I enjoyed metal above all genres, even though it was a short one.

I found the concept behind The Universal Migrator really interesting, it was quite a trip in time listening to it! And I guess 01011001 has really caught my attention, both musically and conceptually, it is a quite extraordinary built scenario. To me it is indeed amazing that all this music and ideas was inside a guy’s head, and he actually managed to express it!! Really creative stuff. It also made me go back to read some fiction (I have been reading just philosophy and theoretical books for my academic work for a long time), which was nice too. By the way, I moved to Europe like two months ago! Can you believe it? I recently met a Czech girl in Brazil and we started dating very seriously very fast, and we decided to move to Prague. She even got a job offer in your country, in Amsterdam, but unfortunately it was not charming enough. Always good to hear news from you! I hope you have a great week!

Hi Wilson, sorry about the late reply... i´m not that often on here anymore since I started to collect first edition hard covers of science fiction novels. I´m more on goodreads and Facebook groups now... but it´s great to hear you´ve enjoyed listening to some Ayreon... one of the reasons i´ve got heavily back into them is the story aspect indeed. I really love the stories behind The Electric Castle, The Universal Migrator (both I and II) and 01011001 as well. Cool that it made you return to some fiction, what have you been reading? Should you ever want to give some modern science fiction a shot, I´d really recommend Peter F. Hamilton or Neal Asher. Cool to hear you´ve been starting a serious relationship with a Czech girl and that you´re living in Prague. I´ve been there once many years ago and thought it is a beautiful city. I think you must like living there... lots of cultural exploration.

Audio books, sounds nice! Some years ago I downloaded a couple but I actually have listened to few of them. I realize now some of them really are in my mind still, how are you enjoying these? Mine were some "simple" books though. Yeah, and I really owe you on that hehe! I'm actually getting to know other Beethoven pieces recently (like the piano sonatas), I kind of went quickly into Bach after listening to the 6th and 9th and reading a couple about them Beethoven. Cheers!!

Happy new year, Andy!! Since you've recommended me some Beethoven pieces I have become a classical music junkie, lol, never thought that would happen. I sometimes even get surprised of how Rush sounds new to me after that. I wish you the best, Hope you have lots of health and energy in order to listen to so much good music as well as I have been doing these last years! Cheers from Brazil!

And in the World Cup we barely did it against Chile!! Such a bad performance by Brazil, lol. It is almost unanimous in here that if we win the title it is going to be the worst ride we ever had. Chile played a very nice match, we all here were holding our breaths, it was pretty close. In Brazil we're going to skip one more day of class due to it lol. On the other hand, I've seen Netherlands match today and it was pretty awesome. You guys are surely coming to this phase way stronger than we do. My Mexican fellows are kind of sad, saying bad stuff about the referee and so on lol, but you guys surely deserved it. Very brave performance. Now I am curious to see Argentina's match, but I think they're not getting any far. Surely the best World Cup I"ve seen so far, great games!

Yeah, I'm looking closely into their lyrics and so on, a great of lot masters singers also, very nice. I found other albums now, soon I'll be on nice vacations to enjoy it with patience. Btw, I accidentally bumped into a Alice Cooper's song playing GTA or something and it was interesting too.

"Afterimage" is a marvelous also! Actually I've never seen the clip lol, I'm going to check it out right now. I like the way they all fit together in Grace Under Pressure, and as far as I heard, that's their best work in that sense. And I think I'm starting to get Ayeron now, even though I wasn't very engaged at first. And I saw the 9th played live (from BBC proms), oh man, I am as amazed as I was the first time Rush got into my skin. Very intense stuff indeed, many thanks for showing it to me ;)

As for Clockwork Angels album I enjoyed very much also, but I feel the live DVD has poor sound and it bothers me :P but anyway the album is amazing! "The Garden" is in my to 5 easily, very beautiful lyrics. Still producing a lot of nice stuff.

I think "Grace Under Pressure" is pure gold, so many great songs; I personally really enjoy "Between the wheels" as their 2nd best closing album song ("The Garden" would be the first lol), and there are many others... "The Body Electric" I enjoy very much too.

Yeah, the 9th is just wonderful lol. I'll look more the 6th more closely in a couple of weeks surely. I usually listen to read/write or something, and works like a charm, haha. And Rush were true amazing in the 70s! I enjoyed hard rock and started and actually enjoying Rush with "Fly by Night" and "Rush", very intense stuff lol. I liked very much Geddy's singing, but nowadays the only album from the 70's I really listen often is "Hemispheres", don't know really why, because there were amazing.

I've read a bit about The Universal Migrator and sounds very interesting stuff. Can't find it in good quality though :/

but speaking of rush, i am truly interested now in the "Counterparts" (1991 I think) album, have you known? very very interesting stuff, but way different than the early years. Personally, I love every single album of them (lol), but this one has really strong lyrics and a strong catch as well ;)

yeah, sure, I'll listen to the 6th very carefully when this fist moment amazement with the 9th passes (it is taking a while though lol), i'm looking for a full video to see it live also :) i am checking out a very much talented brazillian composer as well (Villa Lobos), I'll get back to you if I find something marvelous as the 9th :)

man, i've absolutely loved beethoven's 9th symphony lol. really nice feeling you had there :p sorry it took me so long lol, but it sounds really really amazing. when I woke up thinking about some melody i realized that me and beethoven are going to have some serious business in the next years ahha actually i've listened to it a couple of times, five at best... the 6th did not caught my attention like this one, but i'll surely listen to it again later with careful attention i've hear ayreon also and felt great :D but I'm really into the who right now lol, next band to take closer look will be this one! ;) cheers and many thanks!
